When I was a child in the 70s we'd visit my great-grandparents in Indianapolis and the lightning bugs were like that. Image, a heavily polluted, major metro area had more lightning bugs than anywhere I've seen since.

I’m living in the same place I grew up and when I was a kid we could catch a couple dozen a night, enough to fill a jar and read by.
